Oaked Chardonnay that is so refined. So balanced.

Medium oaked, nicely balanced acidity. No discernible fruit. Quaffable but not something to seek out

Best chardonnay I've had in years- easily beats Cakebread, bringing a lighter overall impression without losing complexity or surrendering buttery notes. BEP selection, 4/2019.

Not bad body, smooth finish. Needs more testing though.

Good wine but nothing outstanding. Nice balance. Would have been more interesting with more aromas.
